You can also use the TravelPilot to play CD-Rs and CD-RWs that contain MP3
music files.
You can also play WMA files. The operation for playing MP3 and WMA files is
identical.
Notes:
●
WMA files with Digital Rights Management (DRM) from online music shops
cannot be played with this device.
MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD
audio data. Compression allows data to be reduced to around 10% of their orig-
inal size without a noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 128 kbit/s). If a lower
bit rate is used to convert CD audio data to MP3, you will be able to create
smaller files but this will be accompanied by a loss in audio quality.
Preparing an MP3-CD
The various combinations of CD burners, CD burning software and CD blanks
may lead to problems arising with the device’s ability to play certain CDs. If
problems occur with your own burned CDs, you should try another brand of CD
blank or choose another colour of CD blank. To avoid problems when playing
CDs, you should not burn CDs at speeds greater than 16-speed.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660 Level 1 / Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats
cannot be played reliably.
You can create a maximum of 255 directories on a CD. You can use this device
to access each of these directories.
You can manage a maximum of 255 tracks in each directory.
